5 Special Problems


1. Special Problems may be highlighted by the states that they face according to terrain or problems of very special nature, if they exist in their state.

Sikkim is located in remote hilly terrain & sharing its border with Nepal, Bhutan & China

Some suggestive problems could be:

a) Very difficult terrain as in Ladakh, J&K

b) Naxalite effected area

c) Remote Tribal /Hilly Areas, etc.

d) Areas which are prone to Vagaries of nature, Andaman & Nicobar island, Lakshadweep

Note:1. * Population should be taken as per 2011 Census data

2. Gender Parity Index= No. of females enrolled/no. of males enrolled3. CPI = No. of colleges (in the state) per lakh population4. Institutional density = No. of Higher educational institutions per 1000 Sq. M.

1. Background information

State at a glance

Warmly nestled in the heart of the eastern Himalayas, the State of Sikkim joined the national mainstream of India as its 22nd state in the year 1975. Sikkim was an independent state ruled by the Chogyal Monarchy till then.

Besides being the least populous state in the country, it is the second smallest in area after Goa. Bordering Nepal in the west, China to the north and east and Bhutan in the south – east the only interstate border is West Bengal borders to its south. Gangtok is the state capital with approximately 50,000 inhabitants. Located in the foothills of the Himalayas, Sikkim is geographically diverse with terrain that ranges from tropical in the south to tundra in the north. Kanchenjunga, the world’s third highest peak, is located in Sikkim, straddling its northern border with Nepal.

Sikkim has four districts, of which the District Collector is in-charge of administration of the civilian areas of the districts. The Indian army also has control of a large territory, as the state is a sensitive border


area and many areas are therefore restricted and permits needed for entrance. There are a total of eight towns and nineteen sub-divisions in Sikkim. The four districts are as follows:

North 4226 4

East 954 5

South 750 5

West 1166 5

Sikkim 7096 19

With an area of 4,226 square kilometers, the North district is by far the largest of the four districts of Sikkim. The West district with an area of 1166 sq.mtr is the second largest, which is followed by East district with an area of 954 square kilometers whereas the South district covers an area of 750 square kilometers.

Socio-economic profile

The culture of Sikkim is based on environment and nature. The three main ethnic communities of Sikkim namely Lepchas (Rongs), Bhutias (Khampas) and Nepalese are basically nature worshippers though are seen practicing Buddhism and Hinduism. Mount Kanchenjunga is regarded as the guardian deity by the Lepchas and its worship in a major annual event in Sikkim.

Marriages, death birth ceremonies are performed by all regardless of caste creed or community. Because of this people enjoy equal status regardless of caste, creed, religion, gender and station in life. There are no gender discrimination and no gender disparity.

The tradition joint family system is giving way to nuclear family. There is no “Son Preference” and siblings are given equal status in terms of education, employment, social functions and other such local social practices. Thus the status of women is very high or equivalent to men in Sikkim. The State Government has ensured 33 % reservation for women especially in the Panchayat and in employment which has led to economic and in decision making empowerment. Widow re-marriage was never an issue although there are single parents in Sikkimese society; the growing trend is to accepting smaller family norms Scholarship for the girls namely “Prerna” and other such incentives have empowered the girl child Women constitute more than half the government employees. Because of this increasing and the high literacy rate the Sikkimese lady is well aware of her rights and duties.

Source: Source: www.Sikkim.gov.in

Analysis of the above table shows that there has been rapid growth over the years (except during 1921 due to various reasons). From 22,563 persons in 1981 the population suddenly doubled in 1961 from 1.62.189 to 2, 09,843. This is reflected by the 500.76 % in variations in the year 1981.One factor could be the joining of the Indian main stream and the resultant flux of activities in all sectors which included opening of new offices and creation of new jobs and other social dimensions. The sex ratio also shows changes in the pattern of growth. Of the four districts the North District which has the largest landmass has the least number of populations. This is because much of North Sikkim is snow-capped mountain peaks and ranges with cliffs and plunging mountain streams, and thus very little area is fit for human habitation.

Administrative set-up

For the administrative purpose, Sikkim has been divided into 4 District and 9 Sub-Divisions. However because of the decentralization policy of the State government, the sub-district units were further divided into smaller units called Block Administrative Centre (BAC) vide Notification No. 628/RM&DD/P, dated 12.2.2007. The newly created Block Administrative Centers (BACs) are declared as the “grassroots unit” of developmental activities of the state and their territorial jurisdictions are fixed vide Notification No. 60/RM&DD/P, dated 20.02.2007 superseding earlier Notifications of 12.2.2007. Previously there were only 24 BACs which are later on extended to 26.Again during 2011-2012 three new BACs have been notified in East and the west district and the same have also been recommended during GBM 2011-2012 as BRC.As such the total no of BRCs is now 29.

The Districts are headed by the District Collectors, Sub-Districts by Sub-Divisional Magistrates and Blocks by Block Development Officers. There are circle offices as well in the state. Besides these offices, some of the offices are located at the village level like VLW centers, VLO centers, etc. where a full-time government employee are posted for the service of the common people.

GER for All, SC & ST

By Gender: In terms of gender, GER for males (21.4) is lower than GER for females (25.9) which is skewed towards the female gender as opposed to the All India numbers, where the enrollment ratio is higher for male as compared to females.

By Social Group: The GER of SCs (23.3) and STs (16.4) is lower than the state GER of 23.6. Further, there is disparity within the social groups between male and female GER. The gender parity Index for SC is 0.91; it is much higher in case of STs (1.35). As can be seen from figure below on Gender and Social representation, the share of student enrolment across all backward groups expect Muslims is lesser than their proportionate share in population in the state.

Key Issues of Higher Education in Sikkim

While there has been a significant development in the field of higher education, it still lags behind in comparison to many other states.

a) Inadequate financing for state higher education institutionsb) Low employability and skills of graduates Lack of eligible teaching candidates in science and

Math subjectsc) Limited motivation for learning due to evaluation process in collegesd) Inadequate focus on research in higher educatione) Lack of adequate infrastructure and equipmentf) Need to provide more equitable access to higher education for marginalized groups and com-

munities.

History of Higher Education in the State

Annals of history of higher education of Sikkim shed lights on three institutions (college level/tertiary level)

namely Namgyal Institute of Tibetology (1957), Sikkim Institute of Higher Nyingma Studies (1963), and Sir

Thudob Namgyal College (established in 1972) which have proven their worth. By 1995, the state could

establish only 10 colleges that were mainly due to the contribution of private investors. The 21st century

witnessed a few pioneering efforts in the form of colleges namely Harka Maya College of Education ( in

2003), Pakim Palatine College(in 2004), Gyalzing and Sikkim Government College(in 2005), College of

Agricultural Engineering and Post Harvest Technology(in 2006), Sikkim Government B. Ed. College( in 2009),

Government Degree College Kyongsa (2011). The first and foremost university known as Sikkim Manipal


University (SMU) was established in Sikkim followed by the ICFAI University(2004), the EIILM

University(2006), the Vinayak Mission(2008), NIT(2009), and the SRM University(2014).


SWOT Analysis

SWOT Analysis below presents out the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats of Sikkim. The analysis has been done across the four objectives of access, equity, excellence and governance. The information provided are quantified/substantiated by evidence wherever possibleStrengths Academic performance

GER of Sikkim (23.6%) which is higher than the national GER (21.1%) Female GER of Sikkim (25.9%) is also much higher than the female GER

of the country (19.8%)Weaknesses

State does not have any university run by state govt. For affiliation, designing of Curriculum (regionally relevant), State HEIs

have to depend on Central university Infrastructural Shortage for most of the technical academic Programs. Shortage of qualified local teaching staff as per UGC norms for HEIs

Opportunities Growth potential New construction Technological advances Industrial development Requirement of trade professional in Hospitality, Tourism,

Pharmaceuticals, Hydel Power, Agriculture and Horticulture, Nursing, etc.

Threats State budget crisis Lack of awareness and proper attitude for self finance courses for

sustenance and self dependence Lack of use of automation in university system Lack of communication facilities and use of ICT for better administrative

performance Lack of training programmes for the faculty and staff towards

technological orientation Development of private universities and institutes in the area

4. PREPARATION OF STATE PLAN


Methodology

The state has conducted an extensive research and exposure visit to understand the various implementation methodologies executed under the RUSA scheme. This helped us understand the implementation process in other states and institution. Multi-stakeholder approach consultation was conducted to understand the different perspective from the stakeholders and executors in the field of education that helped in drafting a plan which is actionable and measurable.

Baseline Survey

Baseline survey was conducted to have primary research data which is used to identify critical gaps in higher education institutes of the state. Specifically, the survey was designed to:

(i) Develop a profile of each institution(ii) Identify the programmes offered in each institution(iii) Obtain statistics of the students employed in each HEI by gender, programs of study

and Community.(iv) Statistics on staffing by gender, qualifications, specialization(v) Document information about quality assurance processes in each institution(vi) Obtain information about the institutional budgets and fees charged to student(vii) Document any other information relevant to the mandate of the State Higher Educa-

tion Council.(viii) Identify the infrastructure needs in the institutes

Flow of Survey

Data collection and consolidation


The data from various sources is consolidated first to be able to do any form of analysis or research. The various data sources that gathered to understand the current state of the Higher education would be both primary and secondary sources like:

Baseline Survey data Interview and consultation data Census data Institutional development plans Budgets etc.

The challenge with the data being sourced from multiple sources is to check for quality of the data before any conclusion or causality is to be established, hence, the data needs to be evaluated for the following:

Validity Accuracy Completeness Consistency Uniformity

After the data is validated, an analytical dataset which is the "Single Source of Truth" is created for performing all the reporting and gap analysis.

Identify Critical gapsTo identify the critical gaps a systemic approach need to be taken so as to understand the gaps and the root causes for the same. A structured planning method is formulated to evaluate the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats in the current Higher Education system of the state. A SWOT analysis is carried out to identify the internal and external factors that are favorable and unfavorable to achieve the objective.

Strengths: characteristics of the Current Higher Education system that give it an advantage over others.

Weaknesses: characteristics that place the system at a disadvantage relative to others. Opportunities: elements that the system could exploit to its advantage. Threats: elements in the environment that could cause trouble.

Process for SWOT analysis:1. Involvement of key stake holders for key areas of higher education2. Involvement of students3. Ask participants to collect and review information on internal resources and external factors

affecting higher education.4. Discuss with key stake holders to identify strengths and weaknesses and the opportunities

and threats facing the higher education system5. Critically evaluate and review internal operations to identify strengths and weaknesses.6. Critically evaluate and review external factors to identify opportunities and threats.7. Identify areas of competitive advantage (or disadvantage).8. Create action plan to tackle weaknesses, capitalize on strengths and opportunities and deal

with threats.

Creating the State perspective plan


The analyses based on the various data sources, SWOT analysis and the individual IDPs from the Higher Education Institutes is rolled up to create the perspective plan for Higher education in the State. The Perspective plan has annual plans for the year 2015-16 with detailed planning and budgeting. The plan covers all aspects of programme activities for the period.

Component 1: Creation of Universities by way of upgradation of existing autonomous colleges

State Government of Sikkim would not go with “Component 1: Creation of Universities by way of upgradation of existing autonomous colleges” in this state perspective plan 2015-16. Next year this component might be incorporated on necessity basis.

Component 2: Creation of Universities by conversion of colleges in a cluster

Proposed Name of the University: Sikkim State University Name of the Lead College: Sikkim Govt. Degree College, BurtukName of other participating colleges: Sikkim Institute of Higher Nyingma Studies, Pangthang, &Sikkim Govt. Sanskrit College, Samdong

Justification for clustering the colleges into a University: Creation of potential centre of excellence at international level for the study of traditional philosophy, culture, literature, language of the land along with the study & research of general academic disciplines.

State Government of Sikkim is hereby sending the proposal for the creation of “Sikkim State University” by conversion of three colleges in a cluster i.e., “Sikkim Govt. Degree College, Burtuk”, “Sikkim Government Sanskrit College” &"Sikkim Institute of Higher Nyingma Studies". This university will act as a) the regional potential centre of excellence of general academic disciplines, b) the seat for the Buddhist education in the North East region including other countries i.e. china, Nepal, Mongolia, Japan & Bhutan etc. & c) the regional centre of excellence for research & development of Sanskrit language in North East.

a) Sikkim Govt. Degree College, Burtuk

Sikkim Govt. Degree College, Burtuk, was established in the year 2012. In order to accommodate the growing numbers of students aspiring for general degrees the Govt. College, Tadong, Gangtok established the 2nd campus at Burtuk as an extended unit. While only 106 students were enrolled in the year 2013-14, a total of 784 students sought for admissions and were enrolled during the year 2014-15, to pursue under graduate (B.A & B.Com) programmes. The three acres campus is located at a strategic location well connected by roads.

Now, under the Rashtriya Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan it is proposed to create a University named Sikkim State University by conversion of the above three colleges in a cluster. These colleges share similarity in the sense that Govt. Sanskrit College, Samdong caters to the need of education, research and development in Sanskrit while Sikkim Institute of Higher Nyingma Studies caters to the need of education, research and development in Buddhist and Monastic studies. The third college i.e. Govt. degree college, Burtuk will fulfil the need for other general academic disciplines by awarding degrees in various fields of studies related to science and humanities. The proposed University will be of a kind in the entire region.


b) Sikkim Government Sanskrit College, Samdong

In Sikkim Sanskrit Education was started in the year 1983-84. Initially, only 4 Sanskrit Pathshalas were established i.e. Linkey (East), Bermiok (West), Samdong (East) and Lingmoo (South). In the year 1997 Samdong Pathshala has been upgraded to Mahavidyalaya under the Sampurnananda Sanskrit University. At Sanskrit Mahavidyalaya there are 47 students studying from Purba Madhyama to Shastri. In our country Sanskrit is regarded as the languages of the Gods. Besides it is also the mother of Indian languages and it is the repository of a great part of our old cultural heritage. The study of Sanskrit language is obvious in order to know about the hidden treasure of our country.

c) Sikkim Institute of Higher Nyingma Studies, PangthangThe particular nature of this institution is rare in the country and therefore it is proposed for creation of university by conversion of colleges in a cluster under special category to facilitate the study of Buddhist literature in the region. This institute has the potential to be the regional Centre of excellence for Buddhist studies. Nyingma Sheda was established in the early Nineteen Sixties, inspired by the great personal interest of His Majesty Palden Thendup Namgyal. Nyingma is the earliest form of Tibetan Buddhism and expounds the original teachings and traditions of Buddhism. Nyingma is also the original Buddhism of Sikkim. The institute was started with the aim of preserving Buddhist philosophy, literature and cultural heritage of Sikkim as well as the region. The institute is affiliated to Sampurnananda Sanskrit Vishwavidyalaya, Varanasi (Uttar Pradesh).

Component 8: Research, Innovation and Quality Improvement

1. Information on Research, Innovation and Quality Improvement of six colleges is given below:

The state Higher Education Dept. has planned for facilitating research & innovation in the HEIs of the state. As per AISHE report 2011-12 the state has produced 50 M. Phil but no Ph. D and in the AISHE Provisional Report 2012-13 the number has been significantly increased to 71 M. Phil and 17 Ph. D. The data shows the urge & increasing interest of the students to pursue research programmes in their respective subjects. In order to motivate more and more number of students in research & innovation work in the days to come, the Govt. of Sikkim has sought fund under RUSA.

The primary objectives of the Govt. are to:

a) Make provision of R&D to create new knowledge, primarily in general academic subjects as well as traditional subjects like Sanskrit & Buddhist philosophy.

b) Capacity-building in order to create a highly skilled group in the labour force to be used in the development of the state/country.

c) Encouraging creative HEIs to boost innovation.


d) Networking through such mechanisms with interactive learning amongst the institutions involved in R&D.

e) Creating enabling institutions which facilitate innovation.

f) Incubation activities to foster innovative projects& entrepreneurship development.

g) Financing of innovative processes to facilitate the commercialization of knowledge.

By utilizing the funds made available under RUSA, it is planned to procure high quality e-resources for use in higher educational institutions. This will facilitate exposure of students to match world class standard of learning. Thrust will be given on up gradation of existing libraries and laboratory facilities in HEIs in the state. Facilities like establishment of Incubation centre, Innovation hubs, etc., will be targeted for development and nurturing of entrepreneurship skills, thus adding to generation of market based employments. This will provide relief to growing rate of unemployment in the state. The higher education sector in the state has often suffered due to lack of quality faculties. Under RUSA, it is being planned to provide competitive compensation package for faculty initiatives and to attract high quality researchers and students. Merit-based scholarships and exposure visits for both faculty and students will be provided so as to scale up industry-academia partnership. Promotion of inter-disciplinary and trans-disciplinary research centers is being eyed upon to provide boost to R& D initiatives in the higher education sector of the state. Staff excellence and organizational stewardship will be the other core areas to be focused under RUSA.

Component 9: Equity Initiatives

As compared to many states in India, Sikkim is better off in terms of imbalances with regard to gender, caste, creed, religion, etc., which is evident from the data already provided under various heads above. Nonetheless, this is not an end to the path of progress in the specific area identified under RUSA. Therefore, the state govt. has decided to place demand for funds under equity initiatives for the 9 (nine) colleges.

Under the component equity initiatives the state government plans to strengthen the educational framework in the state through implementation of innovative approach/schemes to ensure greater inclusion of students to reduce regional imbalances in terms of gender, caste, creed, religion, etc. Special focus will be laid on better participation rate of SC/ST/OBCs against specified percentages of reservations in various educational institutions covered under the scheme. Going by the terms of RUSA guidelines the state govt. plans to create equal opportunity cells, establish remedial classes, language labs, etc. Financial aid and scholarships for socially and economically backward students, equity and gender sensitization campaigns, innovative schemes/programmes to further enhance equity and inclusion will remain the core areas under this component.

Information on equity initiatives, college wise strategies/ plan of action under equity initiatives for the 9 (nine) identified colleges in the state are presented below.
